    You supply them with your Paint Code # (Mine was LC9X YJ for my Deep Black Pearl TB).
    The roof spoiler attaches with 3M Double Sided Tape for easy installation. At present, and
    for the next two days they have three units still available at the 20% discounted price of
    $257.12 plus $40.00 shipping. The Ebay Item # 200770115164

    I'd be curious about it for aero effects. The back of the bug is what needs the most help aero-wise. However, small as it is, it probably doesn't do much of anything. However, I do think it looks kind of cool. Like it _might_ do something.

    Yea I would like to see it purchased and on a forum members car. Before I would be willing to fathom the idea of putting one on my car.

    The Ebay site number I listed was the only one I could find who actually offered the item
    fully painted in the correct factory paint. All the others stated it would come unpainted.

    Don't want to scare the hell out of the Porsches that I come across. They see that carbon
    fiber spoiler, along with that Borlia exhaust, and I know their knees will be shaking once
    I start beginning to 'rev' before 'take-off'.

    Hahaha I always joke around at work that I driver the super poor mans Porsche. Along with that we have a guy that is nuts about Mini's and he claims my car is just a copy that Volkswagen is trying to compete with Mini. I always laugh at that because last time I checked the Beetle was first.

    The first VW39 series Volkswagen was on the road in January of 1939. The actual first built
    one was allowed by VW to be driven by Jay Leno last year, along with the 2012 Beetle, and
    he said he was impressed with 'Ferdie Porsche's' creation that was designed to be a true
    'peoples car' for Germany. He liked the 2012 Beetle too! There was a video on YouTube
    showing him driving both cars.

    I just goes to show how dumb people can be. The original beetle pre-dates the mini. The new beetle pre-dates the re-released mini. Seems more valid to make the reverse arguement.

    You can see the current ads for them on Ebay. The fully painted version is Ebay # 200770115164
    and the unpainted version is Ebay # 190686035957.
